IPL 2018: How Dinesh Karthik's team may lineup in the tournament

#2 Sunil Narine

Can Narine give quick starts like last year?

The previous editions of IPL have seen Sunil Narine emerging as one of the most economic mystery bowlers.

However, in the 10th edition, fans saw a different Sunil Narine with the bat as he was asked to open the innings. He was unorthodox, free-flowing and gave KKR a quick start while chasing. He boasts of an amazing strike rate of over 140 in T20s and the KKR think tank would be keen to use his batting abilities this year as well.

Although he went through a major transformation in his bowling action, still with over 300 wickets in T20s at an impressive economy of just 5.82, he will still be the go-to man for the skipper in the bowling department.
